- Start Date and End Date
Enter the dates when the contract becomes effective and when it expires. The dates that you enter for the contract block and contract harvest records must be within this date range.
These fields work with the Contract Status field to control when the system allows transactions against the contract. You cannot change the contract status to Active unless these fields contain dates.

Enter a code from UDC table 43C/RT to specify whether the system allows extended life on the contract. These values are hard-coded:
RN: Renewable. The contract end date can be extended but not past the renewable end date.
NR: Non-Renewable. The contract end date should not be extended; however, the system does not prevent you from extending the date.
RL: Roll. The contract end date should be equal to the current harvest period plus the renew term; however, the system does not validate this.
- Renewable End Date
Enter a date that indicates the latest possible end date for the contract. The system requires that this date comes after the end date. This field is input capable only if the system has assigned a renew or roll type to the contract.
- Renew Term and Renew Period
Enter a numeric value in the Renew Term field to specify the amount of time that should be added to the contract end date if it is renewed. Enter a code from UDC table 43C/RU to identify the measure of time in the Renew Period field.
For example, if you enter 3 in the Renew Term field, you might enter WK (weeks) for the Renew Period field.
If the contract is nonrenewable (NR), these fields are not required.
